Amarc Res Stock Price, News & Analysis

Amarc Resources (OTCQB:AXREF) has appointed Carol Li as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective July 19, 2025. Li, a Chartered Professional Accountant with over 30 years of experience in the resources industry, brings extensive expertise in financial reporting, project financing, and capital markets.

Li succeeds Tom Wilson, who is retiring from his position. Her appointment strengthens Amarc's executive team as the company continues to advance three copper-gold districts in British Columbia.

Amarc Resources (OTCQB:AXREF) has launched a significant $10 million drill program at its 100% owned DUKE Copper-Gold district in central British Columbia. The program, funded by Boliden, will explore multiple copper-gold deposit targets across the 732 km² District.

The company's 2024 exploration program completed 19 scout core holes (5,815 m) at three porphyry Cu-Au deposit targets - JO, C4, and Svea. Notable discoveries include new copper-gold mineralization at the JO Target, with drill hole DKJ24043 returning 71m of 0.13% CuEQ, and at C4 Target, where hole DKC24058 cored 48m of 0.11 g/t Au. At Svea, drilling intercepted 96m of 0.23% CuEQ including a higher-grade interval.

The DUKE District, located 80 km northeast of Smithers, is situated in one of BC's most mineralized porphyry belts and benefits from extensive infrastructure.

Amarc Resources and Freeport-McMoRan are planning a significant 2025 drill program at the JOY District in British Columbia, focusing on the high-grade AuRORA Cu-Au-Ag deposit and other discoveries. Freeport has invested CAD $35 million to earn a 60% interest in the project and plans a CAD $10 million program for 2025, subject to funding an additional CAD $75 million in Stage 2. The AuRORA deposit, discovered in 2024, shows impressive high-grade results across multiple drill holes, with grades higher than the historic Kemess South deposit. The deposit currently extends over 600m by 500m and remains open for expansion. Notable drill results include intersections of up to 2.19 g/t Au, 0.63% Cu, and 6.95 g/t Ag over 162m. The company has also identified nine other large sulphide systems, with successful drilling at the Twins, PINE, and Canyon discoveries.

Amarc Resources (AXREF) announced significant drilling results from its 2024 exploration program at the IKE Copper-Gold District in BC. The program focused on the Empress Deposit, where drilling intercepted notable mineralization including 60m at 0.90% CuEQ and 181m at 0.46% CuEQ. The company's comprehensive program included both new drilling (9 core holes totaling 1,873m) and resampling of historical core (1,541 samples from 23 holes). Key findings revealed stacked high-grade Cu-Au mineralization bodies and well-mineralized porphyry-style Cu-Au-Mo zones. The Empress Deposit, part of the 500 km² IKE District, shows potential for expansion with mineralization remaining open in multiple directions. The style of mineralization at Empress is described as unique within the western Cordillera, with initial data suggesting the center of the mineralized system has not yet been defined.

Amarc Resources (AXREF) has announced significant drill results from its JOY Cu-Au District in British Columbia, highlighting multiple copper-gold discoveries. The AuRORA Deposit showed impressive results including 132.00m of 1.71% CuEQ with 1.87 g/t Au, 0.63% Cu and 5.2 g/t Ag, and 204.00m of 0.72% CuEQ with 0.74 g/t Au.

The company completed 20 initial drill holes at AuRORA, with all holes now reported. The grade range encountered exceeds that of the historical Kemess South deposit. Additionally, Amarc made a new discovery at the Twins Target, marking their third porphyry Cu-Au discovery in four years at JOY.

The drilling program, fully funded by Freeport-McMoRan, also expanded the PINE Deposit and Canyon Discovery, demonstrating the district's significant exploration potential. The AuRORA deposit remains open for expansion, with mineralization showing substantial vertical and lateral continuity.

Amarc Resources (TSXV:AHR)(OTCQB:AXREF) announces its participation at the 2025 PDAC Conference from March 2-5 in Toronto, where it will showcase its AuRORA high-grade Cu-Au-Ag discovery made in collaboration with Freeport-McMoran. The discovery, located within the company's 100% owned 495 km² JOY District, was initially announced in January 2025.

The company will be present at Booth #2850 in the Investors Exchange. Dr. Jim Lang will deliver a technical presentation about geological considerations for porphyry Cu-Au exploration in the JOY District on March 2. Visitors can meet with CEO Dr. Diane Nicolson, Hall of Fame Inductee Mark Rebagliati, and Dr. Jim Lang to discuss Amarc's JOY, DUKE, and IKE Districts and examine drill core from the AuRORA discovery.

The company plans to conduct 29,000 meters of drilling in 2024 across its three districts in British Columbia.

Amarc Resources (AXREF) has signed a mineral property option agreement with Canasil Resources to acquire 100% interest in 22 mineral claims adjacent to its JOY tenure and east of its AuRORA copper-gold-silver discovery. The 5-year option requires annual payments of $400,000, with purchase prices ranging from $8 million in year one to $12 million in year five.

The claims are subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty, with an option to acquire half for $5 million before commercial mining operations or $10 million after. The property falls within the Amarc-Freeport-McMoran agreement area and will be offered as part of the JOY District.

The 44.5 km² Brenda Property is surrounded by Amarc's JOY mineral tenures and shares the same geological setting as AuRORA. Historical exploration revealed promising results, including an intersection of 78m grading 0.61 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu from 110m in hole BR-07-05.

Amarc Resources (TSXV:AHR)(OTCQB:AXREF) has announced that President and CEO Dr. Diane Nicolson will present at the Kinvestor Mining & Energy Conference 2025 on February 12, 2025, at 12 pm PT. The presentation follows the company's January 2025 announcement of discovering the new high-grade AuRORA gold-rich porphyry copper-gold-silver deposit in the JOY Copper-Gold District in north-central British Columbia.

In 2024, Amarc completed extensive programs across its BC projects, investing $23 million in 29,000m of drilling and various surveys. Key activities included:

• 16,883m of core drilling across 40 holes at JOY District
• 4,828m in nine holes at DUKE District
• 5,815m in 19 holes testing District Cu-Au targets at DUKE
• Nine holes testing the Empress Cu-Au Deposit at IKE District

Results from these programs are expected to be released in Q1 2025.

Amarc Resources (TSXV:AHR)(OTCQB:AXREF) has announced additional drill results from its AuRORA copper-gold-silver deposit discovery at the JOY Copper-Gold District in British Columbia. The drilling program, fully funded by Freeport-McMoRan, revealed significant high-grade intersections including:

- Hole JP24060: 129.90m at 1.98% CuEQ (2.40 g/t Au, 0.61% Cu, 5.3 g/t Ag)
- Hole JP24073: 219.00m at 0.80% CuEQ (0.98 g/t Au, 0.24% Cu, 2.0 g/t Ag)
- Hole JP24075: 265.65m at 1.02% CuEQ (1.24 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu, 3.4 g/t Ag)

The results confirm the continuity of the Au-rich mineralized system from east to west, vertically, and to the north, starting near the surface. The deposit remains open for expansion in all horizontal directions. The discovery is located within the Northwest Gossan Target area, which features a 3.7 km² IP anomaly with coincident Cu, Au, Mo, and Ag anomalies.
